Comment (by catalyst):
Suggestion: remember the source of the `DisableNetwork=1`, e.g., command
line, config file or controller connection, so we can log something like
"command line set DisableNetwork" or "controller set DisableNetwork".
Maybe even have an additional parameter to DisableNetwork so an
application can put a user-friendly reason, e.g., "Tor Browser startup"
(tor command line `DisableNetwork 0` when Tor Browser starts up) or "Tor
Browser config dialog".
Also, log a message when we set `DisableNetwork=0`. Right now a user has
no way to tell from the log files that we turned DisableNetwork off.
